For me, one of the all-time great moments is near the climax of "Two Tars." The traffic jam has built up from Stan and Ollie playing tit-for-tat with another driver to a full-fledged riot. A lone motorcycle cop appears at the top of a hill and surveys the chaos. Something's not right down there. He drives down and stands there, hands on hips. The mob of brawling motorists suddenly notice him and go scrambling back to their cars, like rowdy gradeschoolers when the teacher unexpectedly returns to the classroom. In short, it's the end of "Big Business" writ large. It's not just the Boys but EVERYBODY who are, under the thinnest facade of adulthood, six years old. |

Last night's episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show just happened to be The Sam Pomerantz scandals; that's the one in which Mr. Van Dyke and Henry "Sgt. Garcia" Calvin play Laurel & Hardy. |

This summer I took my son Trigger Stark to the Big Business houses. I noticed the window to the right of the door that Laurel throws a light fixture through isn't there. A neighbor told me bus loads of tourists frequently stop there. |

Heartening to know there are busloads of people who know what they're looking at. |
